There's nothing truly special about my favorite golf shirt.
It's an all-white NIKE mock T (you know, the ones with no collar). I got it at Harbor Town at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head way back in 2004 when those shirts were cool. I guess that makes i… more »

I've never had a Tiger Woods moment on the golf course until yesterday.
Granted it wasn't the U.S. Open, but it was MY U.S. Open.
Every time me and my buddy Kevin get together for a round, we play for our prized trophy -- a Pebble Beach towel we purc… more »

I got my first look at the "Big Break X: Michigan" last night. I liked what I saw. I've been to Boyne Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs just a couple times, so it's always a special treat to see it again, especially those cool scenery shots on TV.… more »

I don't remember my first par, do you? But I'll sure as heck remember my son's.
A recent trip to Boyne Highlands Resort in northern Michigan, the site of this fall's "Big Break X" on the Golf Channel (more on that later), provided the memorable momen… more »

There were few good memories fro… more »

While watching the British Open, I couldn't help but day dream about my trip to Ireland in April.
A friend told me once I've played links golf "over there" -- meaning Ireland and Scotland -- playing golf anywhere else will become boring. I understand n… more »

Every winter, I tell myself the same thing. I'm going to practice more. I'm going to practice my swing mechanics with a broom as I sweep the kitchen floor, like my trusty golf magazine tells me.
I'm going to squeeze a tiny little rubber ball in my hands… more »

Here's a great story from the 'You never know who might show up at the first tee' file.
I'm gearing up to play Poppy Hills, the sporty Monterey Peninsula layout that is part of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with a friend in June, 2003, and a father and… more »

I know this post is probably too late for all you shoppers out there buying gifts for the golfers in your life. I've already survived my first of four family Christmas celebrations and the office party, and I've already experienced the "bad golf gift" fi… more »

As a personal witness to the collapse of the U.S. team at the 2004 Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan in September, at least I can take solice in one thing -- the embarassing loss helped changed the U.S. Ryder Cup selection process for t… more »
